It involves some of the best use of 3-D I've seen in an animated feature. It also introduces a masterstroke that essentially allows the series to take place anywhere: There is this land beneath the surface of the earth, you see...

The movie settles into a mode of nice, sweet, safe, and -- sorry, I have to say it -- slightly dull family fun.

I love the soundtrack and setting of this movie which is a forest of dinosaurs under the earth. The best ice age movie

This is the BEST Ice Age movie, it's filled with humor, action & few emotional scenes. The most entertaining movie in the series, it's hilarious, introduces Buck which is my favorite character, and adds Dinosaurs! Very fitting for Ice Age in my opinion.

Hasn't got a lot more to say than it did last time about the necessity of accepting the nontraditional family in extraordinary times, but what it does have going for it are its well-delineated characters.

A sometimes lively, sometimes listless wilderness adventure that will keep the kids cool and mildly entertained for a little while.

It's mostly flat, despite being presented in 3-D, and the writing is so unimaginative that at one point a character yells out "yabba dabba doo!"

Pretty much any sign of creative life gets left out in the cold in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, the monotonous, strictly by-the-numbers third edition of the wildly lucrative digitally animated franchise.

Every character is like the hyperactive rat-squirrel Scrat, and the audience is bounced around like his elusive acorn.

The first three Ice Age movies were great, and this should've been the last one. The animation is excellent, the humor is funnier than ever, and the characters are more complex than ever. Yeah, the story may have some problems, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the film. With the recent crap fests of Continental Drift and Collision Course, you should be able to look back and realize how good it was.

A step down for franchise with less humour though visuals and addition of Buck are good.

Lo único bueno de esta película es la nueva zarigüeya que tiene una personalidad nueva y muy divertida. Muy mejorable el resto.

This film is set in the end of the Ice Age and is another sequel to "Ice Age." In this film, the animals at the glacier will have an unlikely encounter with dinosaurs, which are presumed extinct. Directed by Carlos Saldanha and Mike Thurmeier, has voice actors like Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and Denis Leary. There should be a moment in the film industry that, when a film ceases to have quality, can no longer have sequels. If the first two films were not particularly noteworthy but can be minimally enjoyed, this film was not capable of it. The idea that dinosaurs survived in a hole under the ice is absolutely stupid and shouldn't have been carried forward. It totally ruins the script! The characters are also not particularly interesting or worthy of positive note. Sid remains the most detestable character, for the reasons given in the criticism the previous films, and even Scrat has lost some charm. The pair of possums is, ultimately, who will escape the list of less positive moments of the film. To all this we must add a soundtrack virtually inaudible, voice actors that no longer brings anything new and regular animation work, unable to reach the public anymore.

Ridiculously predictable, corny and extremely childish, Ice Age 3 can only be enjoyed by children or the childish. This movie truly **** in as many aspects I can think of.
